IndiGo has suspended flights to Copenhagen and reduced frequencies to London and Manchester, citing geopolitical airspace closures and congestion at major airports. The airline said the move aims to improve reliability of its limited Boeing 787-9 long-haul operations.
indiGo announced a significant reduction in its long-haul flight network on Wednesday, citing a combination of geopolitical hurdles and infrastructure bottlenecks. The airline is suspending services to Copenhagen and trimming frequencies to London and Manchester, effective this month.
The decision highlights the growing operational strain on Indian carriers as conflict-related airspace closures and domestic airport congestion force a recalibration of international expansion plans. IndiGo’s revisions specifically target European routes operated by the airline’s leased Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner fleet of six aircraft.However, the services on the Delhi–London Heathrow route will be scaled back from five flights per week to four weekly flights from February 9 for the remainder of the winter schedule.
